The place is outdated and its hard find parking but the food and the service more than make up for it. I prefer coming here rather than Langers deli. The pastrami here is unlike no other. The prices are also reasonable. The onion rings are to die for. The waitress was very attentive and helpful. We did not have to wait for a table when we arrived. There were plenty of tables available. This place is first class all the way u will absolutely love it!

I had a reuben and fries, and they provided a plate of pickles to snack on. I enjoyed everything. Service was fast, staff were great and the atmosphere is classic. I also picked up some black and white cookies to take with me at the bakery counter. Busy place, but they keep things moving. Canter’s bakery and restaurant will validate parking for the lot on the corner.

We live around the corner and recently started to come here. The meat is tasty, the bakery nice and we usually are seated quickly. We ordered the Hollywood and the Jersey city which we were mildly disappointed with the cut and size given our first impression of the hot pastrami sandwich and its portion size. Kind of a let down especially with the extra piece of bread and definitely would not order either again if they are presented that way. Otherwise we like coming here and will continue to just probably order something else.

my man and I came here for lunch and it was great. we got a Reuben with onion rings, and a grilled cheese with fries and we split both. it was great! our server was Jimmy and he was on the spot. last time I came here, the server wasn’t great or even nice and the food wasn’t perfect, but this time everything was great. you do have to pay for parking somehow but the lot was easy to use and we got in and out quickly. we have some more gift certificates and can’t wait to be back.

Our original waiter brought water and disappeared so Jeanette stepped in and she was great. I had a turkey ruben with kettle chips; the turkey was dry, but the chips were very good. I think I expected more from such a historic restaurant.

We dined in. The food was delicious. I had the brisket dip on sourdough with Muenster cheese. 10/10. The pickles that they served at the start of the meal were amazing but there was one bad pickle that was squishy. The strawberry cheesecake that I took to go was 6/10. The Onion Ring appetizer had a nice beer batter and the onions were sweet. 10/10…I purchased a Groupon to eat here $50 for $25. I would definitely go back for the sandwich and the nice gentleman at the register who helped us with our Groupon, however our server was probably close to one of the worst servers I have ever had anywhere and I’m not going to mention her by name. I was in the service industry for over 25 years, so I’m not sure how she has a job. In other notes, when we arrived there were very few tables and we were seated in the back away from everybody and there was a party of people that seemed like they might be regulars and someone immediately brought them coffee and water while our party of two was never greeted until we flagged somebody down and we were seated ahead of them. I give it 5/10 for atmosphere. I worked at a well-known Jewish deli in Florida for 3 years and I was interested in trying this to see how it compares. The only thing that I was impressed by was the flavor of the sandwich. I would say it is worth making the 30-minute drive that we did if you love brisket but I was otherwise underwhelmed.

Relaxing/jovial environment…excellent corned beef, pastrami…smoked salmon plate is well dressed and a generous portion.
Upbeat staff is knowledgeable and accommodating. Free parking for 1.5 hrs.

Canter’s in Fairfax is phenomenal! I tried the pastrami sandwich with a side of pickles! I am very picky when it comes to good quality meats and I have to say this is the best pastrami sandwich I’ve eve had. And they also make their own pickles which were “icing on the cake” of a delicious lunch! Add Canter’s to your list today!

Canter’s Deli is a true Los Angeles classic! The pastrami was absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned. The garden salad was fresh and generous, with a great dressing that complemented the meal nicely.

Great deli with excellent pastrami and corned beef. Turkey club is great too as well as the tuna melts. The Fresser is my favorite!
